Reclined split in November 2nd 2017. Happy Flexibility Friday! I bring reclined splits or Supta Trivikramasana with my new lightning patterned tights :)
Reclined split (Supta Trivikramasana)
Standing backbend in December 20th 2021. I'm in love with doing Standingbackbend with a prop so it's my choice tonight ⭕
Standing backbend (Anuvittasana)
King Pigeon in November 27th 2023. Today's seatedheartopener is Eka Pada Raja Kapotasana or King Pigeon, so glad there are straps ;)

Standing split in November 9th 2018. It's the first time I practice any kind of splits since my adductor strain which happened during middle split practice, and I restricted range of motion fo
Standing split (Urdhva Prasarita Eka Padasana)
One-Legged King Pigeon Pose 3 in November 6th 2017. Getting a hand from Mr Bosu and in improvised strap here.

Split in October 17th 2023. My proudest achievement is to start and run my web development business. A pose that I am pleased to achieved is Splits or Hanumanasana. It's still super hard, and
Split (Hanumanasana)
Kasyapasana in November 8th 2017. I don't fully reach the foot here, so I had to use an improvised strap.
Kasyapasana (Balance Dedicated to Kasyapa)
Shoulderstand lotus in November 9th 2017. Shoulderstand lotus was the first leg variation I did in shoulderstand or Salamba Sarvangasana. Sanskrit designation is Padma Sarvangasana. I have h
Shoulderstand lotus (Padma Sarvangasana)
Lolasana in November 10th 2017. I've found the best way to get crossed legs here is to start lolasana as usual, hold for a couple of seconds and then cross ankles. I can hold for about ten seconds now, maybe I go for ankle switches next time :)
Lolasana (Pendant Pose)
Lotus pose in November 11th 2017. I can't make a full lotuspose without using my hands, or rise into headstand from seated lotus. But forming a half lotus in midair works, so I bring that, and

Child's pose in November 12th 2017. Catching up with a pincha child
Child's pose (Balasana)
Handstand in August 6th 2018. I warmed up with spacular pushups, faux handstands facing the wall with leg raises and then kicking up against the wall and hold for a while. Adho Mukha Vrksasan

Flying warrior pose in November 15th 2017. The Visvamitrasana, also known as Flyingwarriorpose, is a tough one. The trick is to warm up hamstrings with everything you got: forward folds, hero
Visvamitrasana (Flying warrior pose)
Elephant Trunk Pose in November 16th 2017. Haven't done this much, but it's fun, a good strength builder if you extend the leg, and also a good preparation for eight angle pose.
Elephant Trunk Pose (Eka Hasta Bhujasana)
Eka Pada Sirsasana in November 17th 2017. Getting foot behind head, standing up and have back vertical feels pretty far ahead, so I bring a sitting approximation.
Eka Pada Sirsasana (Foot behind head)
Bird of Paradise in November 18th 2017. It's my very first practice for Birdof Paradise or Svarga Dvijasana. My friend @omniyogagirl has a great tutorial for this one, reposted by @yogaalignment.
Bird of Paradise (Svarga Dvijasana)
Eka Pada Sirsasana in November 19th 2017. This variation is new to me, and I did first expect to get something similar to my day 17 post. But I decided to give it a try to lift my butt off the
Eka Pada Sirsasana (Foot behind head)
Side Plank Pose in May 6th 2018. It's actually exactly one year since I did my first Vasisthasana. I still think of this as an utthita hasta padangusthasana lying on the side, or actually tilted about 60 degrees.
Side Plank Pose (Vasisthasana)
Kala Bhairavasana (Pose Dedicated to Shiva the Destroyer)
King Pigeon II (Eka Pada Rajakapotasana II)
Bow Pose in January 17th 2022. My favorite memory from last year was when I visited Gotland with my brother, sister and aunt in the summer. We saw limestone rauks (stacks), beautiful sunsets a
Bow Pose (Dhanurasana)
Camel pose in June 29th 2023. My choice for the desert animal is Camel Pose or Ustrasana, I basic one in the first slide and a kneeling backbend in the second.
Camel pose (Ustrasana)
Wheel with one leg up in November 25th 2017.
Wheel with one leg up (Eka Pada Urdhva Dhanurasana)
Chin stand in March 9th 2018. Chinstand or Gandabherundasana was scary before. Have used props, as a Bosu to help get up and then FeetUp that helped me find the optimal distance between hands and chin. Then no scary momentum is needed, just have Stronga
